Coronary artery diseases is the single biggest killer in the UK leading to around 125,000 deaths per year. Athletes have died unexpectedly from heart disease during training and competition. The cause of these sudden cardiac deaths is an underlying cardiac condition. Athletes can undergo a relatively simple screening process to identify and treat the conditions that can cause sudden death and therefore reduce or eliminate the problem.
Experts believe that between 4 and 8 apparently fit and healthy young people die each week as a result of sudden cardiac death or undetected cardiac abnormalities, many of them during or immediately after physical activity. Any athlete who has an undetected cardiac abnormality is at risk.
Located in Harley Street, London, the cardiac screening premises have all the facilities of a modern clinic, in a quiet and relaxed environment. Call their advice line on 0207 323 9292 to discuss your requirements and to help you choose the most suitable cardiac diagnostic test for you.
Medical Director of the Medical Centre for Cardiac Research Ltd, Dr Milton Maltz worked for 14 years at the Cardiac Department at St Bartholmew's Hospital and has been in private practice for over 20 years working in Harley Street. He has authored several publications and lectures at international meetings. He has presented cardiac research papers all over the world.
His expertise is cardiovascular medicine / angiogram / stent and cardiac surgery.
Sudden Death Syndrome is the term now used to describe unexpected and unexplained death occurring in apparently healthy young people. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cause of sudden death in those under 30 years of age. It is a relatively uncommon heart disease although is estimated that ten thousand people in the United Kingdom have the condition.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy (RCM)
Prevention of Sudden Death
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and chest pain
Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Coronary Artery Anomalies (CAAs)
Antibiotic Prophylaxis
It is proven that the early identification and management of cardiac events such as coronary artery disease reduce the likelihood of their developing into serious life threatening conditions. The main purpose of cardiac medical checkups is to break down known risk factors of potential illness, create or improve self awareness of health and fitness and provide referral to the adequate treatment when necessary.
There is a simple way to diagnose most of the abnormalities that can lead to cardiac conditions such as chest pain (exercise related), breathlessness, palpitations,dizziness and fainting. This is by having an ECG (electrocardiogram) test. The test is quick, painless and affordable.
For extra clarity an echocardiogram (ultrasound scan of the heart) is also suggested.
If further investigation is necessary there are a number of highly reliable tests that should provide accurate diagnosis of any possible heart conditions (list below). Our expert cardiologists will discuss with you the course of investigation for your individual case.
Cardiac Assessment
Eletrocardiogram (ECG)
Exercise Treadmill Test
24 Hour ECG Holter Monitoring
Echocardiogram with Doppler
Lipid Profile (Fasting Blood Test)
Cardiac Risk Evaluation (Fasting Blood test)

Werder Bremen vs Borussia M'Gladbach Preview
Werder Bremen director of sport Klaus Allofs has told his team to start improving following an unimpressive start to the season.
Bremen tomorrow [Saturday] take on Borussia Monchengladbach, another side who had high expectations at the start of the campaign but are finding the reality after seven games rather different.
After finishing fourth last season, Gladbach were keen to establish themselves as a force in the Bundesliga, like Bremen used to be until two years ago when they failed to qualify for Europe for the first time in eight years.
After overhauling their squad in the summer, Bremen targeted this season as the one which saw them return to Europe, but with just seven points to their name they are closer to the bottom three than the top six.
"Seven points from seven games are too few, it is time we moved up a gear," Allofs told the Kreiszeitung Syke newspaper.
"If we lose, then we know that we are down there. And we know what the atmosphere would be like around here.
"The coming weeks will show what the true potential of the team is."
Gladbach have enough of their own problems at the moment, with Switzerland international Granit Xhaka complaining of a lack of ambition and Mike Hanke of his lack of action.
Coach Lucien Favre gave assurances the two issues had been "dealt with internally".
"If we are compact and defend well, then we will get chances and we can beat any opponents," he said.
Only Alexander Ring is ruled out due to injury, but both Juan Arango and Patrick Herrmann should be fit to start.

"I am using this card to advise friends and family that my son will be a big brother soon. I've used TinyPrints before so knew the quality of the paper and printing would be great and no exception this second time around. I've already designed my son's birthday party invitation."
"This is a great quality and adorable announcement card. It's has to be for a little brother because you can't change that part of the font but that was perfect for us. We were looking for something without photos and very traditional looking and this was just what we wanted."
"Lovely birthday announcement that pleases both parents thanks to high quality printing and older son who loves plane. Was a great way to make him feel part of the birth. Have personalized with a picture from both of them !"
"We just built a house and these were perfect. We have a toddler and a baby who is constantly wide mouthed all the time when he laughs - so these were perfect. Our friends and family have remarked how perfect these are for us and so happy Tiny Prints had it b/c it represents us so well - and all the other things I get from them. Thanks again Tiny Prints!"
"I've wanted to use this design since I saw it and the awesome customer service folks helped me design it to be a moving card instead of a birthday announcement. It came out adorable and I have received numerous compliments. THANKS!"

Connor Maguire assumes the role of top man in a sultry bedroom encounter with dick-hungry Jackson Taylor. Jackson is smooth and slim, with perfect hair and ass cheeks. They stand naked, clasped in each other's arms, kissing. They fuck each other's mouths with their tongues. Jackson then puts his tongue and lips to work on Connor's cock, in a slow, titillating display of oral expertise that leaves young Jackson's ruddy cheekbones hollow from suction. Jackson's wide doe eyes look up for approval, and they get it from Connor moaning and grasping him by the hair and pushing his cock deeper into Jackson's throat. Connor sits in a nearby chair and Jackson climbs aboard his cock for a lap dance. Jackson's ass is so tight it doesn't even ripple as he works it in every direction. Connor rises to his feet and fucks Jackson in midair, then tosses him onto the bed, plunging him to a noisy, breathy cum shot. Exhausted, Jackson sucks Connor to a wet climax that lands in his mouth.

I know the question of venting multiple fans through one vent has been asked many a time, and I have read the posts, but I still have a few questions that hopefully someone can help me with:
I know that using an in-line fan to vent multiple locations while only penetrating the roof once is the simplest way to do it, I don't like the idea of creating a draft in other rooms of the home that do not require the fan to be on. The problem is that I have 4 bathrooms to vent, and I only want to penetrate the roof twice. I am hoping to install two exhaust fans in each of bathrooms in the main level of the home, and duct them separately to the attic, and then join them via a wye/tee fitting right before they join and exit to the roof vent. And then do the same for the two bathrooms on the 2nd floor of the home.
1) Will this work?
2) The fans have the cheapo built-in dampers on them, and I could install an extra damper on the top of each run just before the join together via the wye/tee fitting. I think that because of the long vertical runs, and the fact that the two runs for each vent join together right below the roof vent, that the possibility of backflow of air into the other bathroom is negligible....am I correct?
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? -Jack Handy

Wedding candle favors are a delightful way to remind your guests of your special day for years to come. Receiving wedding candle favors at your reception will light up your guests' day.
Candles, hearts and wine are traditional symbols of romance, making them perfect for your wedding decorations and favors. Candlelight expresses passion, faith and the essence of fire. Lighting a candle can silence a crowd. Bring this power to your reception with thoughtful wedding candle favors.
If you are like most modern couples, you wedding has a theme and color scheme. Candles come in a variety of shapes, fragrances, sizes and designs to compliment any wedding. For example, no matter what the time many brides choose a fairytale wedding. If you decide to be Cinderella for a day, your guests will cherish "Prince Charming" tea lights in their own castle setting gift boxes. A stylish Cinderella bride can give out a wedding gown candle in a designer window gift shop box to show off her discerning taste.
Combine passion symbols and give your guests long stem rose candles in showcase cylinder boxes with ribbons. Flowers and candles are the perfect combination wedding candle favors to express eternal romance. Other traditional flowers at wedding are calla lilies. Match your bouquets with calla lilies wedding candle favors such as hand painted calla lily tea light holders near each place setting. Another attractive option is a scented glass votive with calla lilies.
Bring a fun-loving touch to your wedding candle favors. If you are both referred to as two peas in a pod, give your guests whimsical "Two Peas In A Pod" candles in ivy print boxes. If coffee got you through wedding planning help, give your guests "Express You Love" coffee scented glass and chrome coffee cup candles with an authentic fragrance and appearance.
Choose expressive wedding candle favors to match the season. At a beach or summer wedding, your guests will love being guided to their chairs by Adirondack chair tea light and place card holders that are also wonderful wedding candle favors. For a wedding at sea, give guests "Set Sail" frosted tea light holders. At the opposite end, winter weddings are more wonderful when you give your guests snowflake gel candles as keepsakes of your special day.
Wedding candle favors are a gift all your guests will appreciate and keep to remind them of your big day.

Daniel Wornette has a license to film
The footage above was taken during a top secret mission to infiltrate a new exhibition of James Bond costumes, props, and sketches at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Alright, I was invited. And I shot it on my iPhone, not microfiche. Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style celebrates half a century of the cinema's most famous spy. Everything you could possibly want is here: Ursula Andress's white bikini, Oddjob's deadly bowler hat, Goldfinger's gold tuxedo.
I had the privilege of interviewing Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (Topsy-Turvy, The Dark Knight trilogy) about her experiences working on five Bond films, from GoldenEye to Casino Royale. Her insight into creating Bond's wardrobe gave me a greater appreciation for the craft of costume design. An immaculately tailored tuxedo can announce 007′s presence more powerfully than his own signature introduction: "Bond, James Bond."
Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style is running at the TIFF Bell Lightbox until Januray 20th, 2013.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kay88 Not durable enough for everyday use Does it hold stuff? Yes. Is it durable? No. Cute bag, but I was disappointed in how much "wear" it showed after just a few uses. I did buy last seasons bag, which was lighter colors, so naturally it will show more wear than darker colors. But still, it was very easy to scratch/nick the dipped canvas. September 5, 2013

The aim was to create a playful, colourful space I can call my own and one that will inspire me to design. The budget was to spend no more than $900.
Here's how it looks now:
The Alice in Wonderland print set from The Black Apple arrived and I have hung them up along with some of my own work.
I already owned most of the items in the studio however I have put together a cost breakdown of the things I did buy (and some that I splurged on):
Paint for cupboard (Dulux Whisper White, Dulux Tapioca 1/2 strength and undercoat) - $80
Graham & Brown wallpaper - $50 delivered
Plywood and moulding for wallpaper frame - $50
IKEA Egeby rug - $149
Clipboards (which I then covered with fabric) - $12
Matt Blatt Eames style chair - $99
Antique sideboard from Ebay (my big splurge) - $405
Adairs paper butterfly mobile - $50
IKEA wrapping paper - $2.95
TOTAL: $897.95 (just made it in under budget)
I have also listed the price of some of the other items I already owned for reference:
Paint for walls (Dulux Self Destruct) - $80
Paint for floor (White Knight Grey) - $70
Bunnings trestle tables - $59 each
IKEA Lack floating shelves - $49 each
Kikki-k step file and folders - approx. $30 (I can't remember exact original price)
Kikki-k pink cloth boxes - $34.95 each

Naturopathy to Naturopathic Medicine: An International Perspective
: 10/19/2011 13:05:10
Practicing Internationally
Written by
Dr. Seroya Crouch
I recently took a position as dean of a large for-profit college of natural medicine in Australia that has campuses in six cities. At eight weeks in, I am still learning about a different educational system, an endless number of acronyms for government and professional bodies, and most of all adjusting to naturopathy being taught as an undergraduate degree with all the limitations of course load (16 credits) and preparedness of students. However, the love of the profession is familiar and it inspires many students and practitioners to excellence and lifelong dedication.
I am also finding myself in a different milieu than North America in terms of the vision of naturopathy, as it is universally called down under. While naturopathic practitioners are highly visible and are reimbursed by most private health insurance, the profession is in disarray. According to senior practitioners, the educational programs used to be more "naturopathic," incorporating philosophy, principles and a variety of modalities.
In the past decade, fuelled by government support of tuition, private education providers have proliferated—often "mum and dad" businesses with little real understanding of the practice. For a country of 22 million people, the educational sector is massively oversupplied with a whole range of programs on offer: a total of no less than 16 three-year vocational training programs, and six colleges or universities that offer three- or four-year Bachelor degrees.
Complicating this picture is a plethora of professional associations competing for members and credentialing for insurance reimbursement. Some associations have a combination of types of practitioners, while others sound like they might be an herbal association, but are composed of more than 80% naturopaths. The associations specify whether the program from which a student graduated is accepted as a qualification for membership. So colleges are navigating the differing requirements of various associations to ensure that their students can get insurance reimbursement upon graduation.
The government is moving towards national registration of health professions with chiropractic, osteopathy, and Chinese medicine being among the first cohort in the next year or so. Naturopathy will likely follow suit in the next 5-10 years. In Australia, registration is the standard for all health-care professions including conventional medicine. New registration boards will set national standards, which will both simplify accreditation of programs and raise the standards of education.
The undergraduate model of medical education is common throughout the world (known as the "Commonwealth system") with the notable exception of North America. It is starting to change in Australia, though, with some medical schools now requiring a bachelor's degree before entrance, while others simply lengthen their degree to seven years. There is a possibility of introducing comparable graduate education in naturopathy in the future. Coupled with reclaiming orphaned modalities, this could turn the tide from dispersion to increased cohesion and professionalization; in other words, a sea change from naturopathy to naturopathic medicine.
Dr. Seroya Crouch NCNM'85 was recently appointed Head of School/ Associate Director of Education at the Endeavour College of Natural Health in Australia. She oversees academic departments offering a variety of practitioner degrees delivered on six campuses nationwide. She is located in Brisbane and can be reached at email@example.com.

- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

Making Jerky from Wild Game (or Beef)
Making Jerky from Wild Game (or Beef)
Jerky is a very popular item to make from harvested venison. It keeps well, has a lot of flavor and is handy to carry into the field for snacking. Virtually every meat-eating culture has some form of jerky because it is an example of the simplest and most ancient form of meat preservation - drying.
Jerky can be made in a large variety of flavors ranging from sweet honey barbeque to Teriyaki to fiery hot pepper. The list of possibilities is pretty much endless. Recipes are also easy to "tweak" to suit your own taste.
With the use of an internet search engine, it is possible to find thousands for free recipes and procedures for making jerky. One example of such a website is www.beefjerky.com where 100 recipes are available with just a mouse click. Because it is so easy to find this information, I won't spend any time on specific recipes. Instead, this post will focus on information and tips for making a quality product, making the job easier and for insuring that the jerky is safe to eat.
A number of available recipes (and a few "bargain" commercial beef jerkys) call for making the product from lean, ground meats. There are even devices (that look like caulking guns) on the market for extruding the ground meat blend into strips. For the record, the product made with this method is actually a "kippered" meat strip. It differs from jerky in that it does not keep as long and will not have a true jerky texture. The extruded product is good, it's just not jerky.
The best jerky is made from very lean, trimmed meats that are sliced WITH the grain of the muscle. Because of this, the large muscles of the hind leg (round) are the preferred. The inside round (semimembranonsus) is ideal for jerky making. The outside round (biceps femoris) and eye of the round (semitendinosus) also work very well.
While fat is a wonderful thing in a prime steak, it's a bad thing for jerky. Because of the ingredients used and the drying process, any fat left on jerky meat will eventually undergo oxidation and become rancid. Since long-term preservation and great flavor are objectives of jerky-making, 100% of all visible fat should be removed from the muscles. If you are using the inside round, it's important to remove the cap muscle (gracilis) from the inside surface because fat often remains in the connective tissue seam.
MARINATING – Injection / Cover Pickle v Slice-then-Marinate Some jerky recipes call for injecting the brine/marinade into the whole muscle (using a veterinary syringe and a trocar needle) and then immersing the meat in a "cover pickle" for a day or more to insure uniform distribution of the salt and flavorings. This is followed by slicing before drying. More commonly available recipes call for slicing the meat prior to immersion in the marinade.
For the home jerky maker that does not have a commercial meat plant machine called a "massager" to distribute the injected marinade, the slice-then-marinate procedure works much better and will produce a more uniform product. Also, by slicing before marinating, you drastically shorten the amount of time required to get the solution distributed.
Large pieces of fresh lean meat are difficult to slice because they are soft and not "set up". To make meat slicing easier, just partially freeze the meat cut until it becomes stiff (not hard frozen). It will have enough rigidity to slice more easily. Use of a meat slicer is highly recommended. Even a home-model slicer will allow the production of uniformly thick slices which will all dry at the same rate. This is important for drying because a mixture of thick and thin slices will result in jerky pieces that are too moist or too dry. To create a flat slicing surface that minimizes waste trim on the first slice, lay the partially frozen lean cut on a sturdy table or counter and whack it with a cast iron skillet. Always remember to slice with the grain of the muscle.
How thick should meat be sliced? One-quarter of an inch is about the limit for the thickest jerky, but you will need to be very careful not to case-harden the product. (See the notes in the Drying section.) One-eighth inch is about the limit for the thinnest jerky. Anything thinner than 1/8" tends to shatter too easily when fully dried.
Probably the most popular coating for jerky is black pepper, but red pepper, dry barbeque rub and dried honey can be found in some recipes. If using a coating, there are a few tricks to using them successfully:
• Dry the surface of the sliced, marinated meat by blotting it on a clean towel before applying the coating or rub. It helps the coating stick better and keeps the high-sugar coatings from becoming a paste.
• For pepper rubs, apply twice as much coating as you would want to have in the finished jerky. About half of it will fall off during the cooking and cooling processes.
• For high-sugar rubs (like sweet barbeque), apply about 25% more than you want on the finished product. Because the sugar becomes sticky when it gets wet, it tends stay on better.
• With all rubs, shake off the excess before putting them on the rack or screen in the dehydrator or smoker. If you have multiple tiers of racks in your dryer or smoker, you don't want a lot of coatings falling down onto the rack below.
The drying of jerky is probably the most difficult step for the first-time jerky maker. This is because there is almost as much art as there is science involved. Here's a few factors to watch out for when drying your home-made jerky:
• Proper racks - The best racks for drying jerky are made from expanded metal. Expanded metal allows water to evaporate from both sides of the slice evenly. Stainless steel is the best, but mild steel can be used as well. To keep mild steel from rusting and leaving brown stains on your product, try "bluing" the metal with liquid smoke. To do this, remove all the rust and coatings from the metal with a wire wheel and thoroughly wash the expanded metal. Next, cover the metal with a heavy coat of liquid smoke and immediately heat it (dry heat) in your smoker until it gets to 200° F. Wipe off or wash off any remaining liquid smoke before loading product.
• Prepare your racks - Applying a thin coat of non-stick cooking spray to the rack before laying the meat on will help minimize the meat sticking to the rack.
• Don't overlap pieces - It's OK to have pieces of jerky on a rack bump up against each other, but don't let them overlap. The overlapped areas will not dry well.
• Space the racks - Some room (about 4-5") is needed between racks in a heat smoker to allow adequate drying. If they racks are too close, jerky can take twice as long to dry.
• Air movement / air change - To remove moisture, some fresh, dry air has to be introduced into a smoker or oven. Gentle air movement also speeds the rate of drying.
• Keep some moisture in the smoker - At first this statement might not make sense. Why would you want moisture in the smoker? Aren't we trying to dry the jerky? Here's the reason some moisture helps: If the surface of the meat dries too quickly, it becomes a hardened, solid barrier of protein that water cannot pass through. Sausage makers call this phenomenon "case hardening". A case hardened piece of jerky is very difficult to dry because the water in the center of the slice gets trapped. It's much better to keep about 30% relative humidity in the smoker so the surface does not harden and the water keeps coming out.
• How dry is dry enough? - Commercial meat plants use a piece of lab equipment called a "water activity meter" to determine the dryness level needed for shelf-stable jerky. These instruments cost thousands of dollars and just make no sense for the small-volume jerky maker. To determine if your jerky is dry enough, just purchase some commercial jerky to use as a comparator. If your jerky has the same texture as the store-bought product, it is dry enough to be shelf stable.
• What kind of a "oven" is needed to dry the jerky? Here are three options that will work:
Home Smoker - These work well if heat can be regulated down to about 100-120° F and some moisture can be included. Moisture addition can be as simple as an aluminum pie plate with some water in it just over the heat source.
Food Dehydrators - Virtually all dehydrators come with recipes and procedures for making jerky. If you use a dehydrator, be sure to fully cook the jerky in your oven afterward as noted below.
Home Oven - Not the best method, but a regular oven will work if it can be regulated down to about 100-120° F and some moisture can be included. Just like with the home smoker, moisture addition can be as simple as an aluminum pie plate with some water in it just over the heat source.
COOKING - Food Safety
After you are done drying, make sure to fully cook the jerky. This is as simple as getting the meat up to 155° F for 5 minutes. If you are using a home smoker or home oven, simply turn up the heat to 165° F and begin checking temperature after 10 minutes. If you have used a dehydrator, transfer the jerky to your oven that is pre-warmed to 165 degrees.
Jerky is very thin, has little mass and is nearly impossible to check for temperature with a meat thermometer, so you have to use this method to test temperature:
1. Open the door to your smoker just enough to get your hands in and so you can see what you are doing.
2. Lay 3 pieces of jerky on top of each other.
3. Lay a meat thermometer on top of the 3 jerky slabs.
4. Stack 3 more pieces on top of the thermometer.
5. Wait 20 seconds and read the temperature.
Along with a good recipe and a quality piece of meat, this should be enough to get anyone started on jerky making. Good luck. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

23136 Woodward Ave, Ferndale, MI | Directions 4822042.463904 -83.136427
Mon, Wed, Fri 12 - 9 lunch & dinner
Sat 4 - 9 dinner only
Neighborhoods: Ferndale
Great food, pricier than expected – I really like Om Cafe - the food is tasty and healthy, the servers are prompt and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is casual and hip.
But I worry about this place - it used to be purely vegetarian and vegan, and now they serve fish. What the heck is that about? And the prices! Om used to be well-known for serving healthy food on the cheap. Now, you're lucky to walk out of there for less than $15 or $20 for just an entree and a cup of tea - not outrageous, but certainly not the value it once was.
I recommend this place for the health-conscious, but not the budget conscious.
Looking for macrobiotic nirvana? Meditate no longer. There's nothing but vegetarian fare to be found here. – In Short
Walk past the tiny kitchen through a narrow hall into a small dining room with pine paneling, local artwork and plastic plants. Aging hippies, vegans and families chat over the hushed rhythms of reggae and jazz. A small but colorful menu features macrobiotic and vegetarian specialties, stir fries, Mexican and fish. Regulars dive into the macrobiotic plate: a huge serving of organic brown rice, adzuki beans, arame sea vegetable and steamed vegetables.
A Vegan Paradise – The Om Cafe has great tasting food that is sure to please! I personally love the brown rice and vegetables with tofu, and the tofu vegetable soup. It does take a while to get your food so make sure you have some time. But once you get it, it's all worth it!

Lockout over, short camp and schedule will challenge NHL coaches
By Stu Hackel
UPDATE (Sat 10:22 PM): Chris Johnson of Canadian Press tweets the Memorandum of Understanding has been signed which official ends the lockout. The league issued a press release shortly afterward. Schedules are set to be released immediately (the full NHL schedule is here) and teams can begin conducting transactions two hours after the signing, probably around midnight Eastern Time. Training camps will open Sunday. The NHL is, after 119 days back in business. Eric Duhatschek of The Globe and Mail tweeted, "Originally, NHL scheduled to play 82 games in 183 days, or 1 game every 2.23 days. Now, 48 games in 98 days, or 1 game every 2.04 days."
The NHLPA ratified the new CBA Saturday and, pending the completion of the Memorandum of Understanding between the owners and the players on the new CBA, the NHL's 30 clubs will open training camp on Sunday. Six days later, we start the abridged 48-game season, what most are calling a sprint to the postseason — quite a change from the way the regular season is viewed in a normal year: as a marathon.
UPDATE (Sat. 5:40 PM): The NHLPA has announced its members voted to ratify the CBA, but said that the agreement cannot become official until the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is finalized. Jesse Spector of The Sporting News tweeted that 667 players voted to accept and 12 voted "No." There were reportedly 84 abstentions. More on the delay in the previous update.
UPDATE (Sat. 4 PM): Somewhat unexpectedly — or perhaps not, considering the erratic nature of this entire process — the announcement of the PA's ratification of the CBA has been delayed. This is because the Memorandum of Understanding between the league and players is still being drafted by the lawyers for both sides. The MOU summarizes the agreement reached in the negotiations and functions as the legal document of owner-player relations until the complete CBA is drafted, which is a much longer process. The NHLPA tweeted on Saturday morning, "Per agreement with the NHL, we will announce results of player vote later today. Discussions to finalize the MOU continue this morning." Sports law analyst Eric Macramalla, whose thoughts explaining various legal moves during the negotiations, tweeted about the MOU earlier Saturday afternoon, "Drafting NHL Memorandum is massive legal undertaking; complicated issues, Canada/US laws – takes time; will be done today; NHL sked follows." Teams and the league have refrained from releasing their schedules until the MOU is done and the NHLPA announces the results of its ratification vote, which concluded Saturday mooring. It is widely expected that the players approved the deal and training camps will open on Sunday. Teams also cannot make any roster moves, including contract signings and trades, until the MOU is completed and, while players have resumed skating at team facilities, coaches cannot join them as long as the lockout has not been officially concluded.
Because hockey players and coaches thrive best in familiar situations, the unusual nature of this season will require major adjustments in the way they prepare for and approach the opening puck drop. The shortened season will be thrilling, but nerve-wracking for everyone, with little time for experimentation or room for error.
"This is like playoff hockey," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock told TSN (video) a few hours after the league and players reached their tentative agreement on Jan. 6. "This is 48 playoff games just to get into the playoffs and, man, that's going to be a lot of detail that has to get put in place right away."
Scrubbing off the rust from the layoff will be just one challenge faced — not only by players who did not play in Europe or minor pro, but by coaches as well. While they all had completed their preparations over the summer, the extended layoff has dulled their coaching instincts. Hitchcock found that out when he volunteered to run practices for high school, college and junior teams in the St. Louis area and discovered that even his voice wasn't in shape.
"I think that's the scariest thing for coaches, are we going to be up to speed?" he wondered. "Because I'll bet you every one of us other than Adam Oates (the Washington coach who worked with the Capitals AHL team in Hershey), none of us have been behind a bench for a long time now and getting up to speed is going to be a big challenge."
TSN's James Duthie asked, "Isn't it like riding a bike? As soon as you get back there, you're fine?"
"I thought it was," replied the reigning Jack Adams Trophy-winner as NHL Coach of the Year, "and then the first game I coached here (in St. Louis last season when he joined the Blues after not working behind a bench since he was fired by the Blue Jackets), I lost one forward." Center Scott Nichol was injured in the first period. "I was down to 11 forwards and I was screwed up the whole game. So I'm not sure," he laughed.
"I think the running of practices, the focus of actually putting in an eight- or 10-hour day is going to be a challenge for all of us."
Among current head coaches, only the Kings' Darryl Sutter ran an NHL bench after the 1994-95 lockout, with Chicago. "We're all going to come up with ideas but you really don't have time to work on a lot of things," he told Helene Elliott of The Los Angeles Times. "We're lucky we have our team returning, other than banged-up guys. Camp can be mostly about reinforcement instead of about something new. To me it's not really training camp. It's more trying to get five good practices in."
Hitchcock was still coaching Kalamazoo of the IHL during the lockout shortened 1995 season, so without any first-hand experience, he sought the advice of some NBA coaches who went through a hurriedly prepared lockout shortened season of their own last year. He told Duthie that the San Antonio Spurs' coaches said he'd have to adjust some of his calculations. "Don't expect the chemistry you had to come back and be the same," he says they advised. "Guys will be in different mental places than they were before.
"The second thing that came up is quality over quantity. You've got to get quality from everybody and if you had a guy who was playing 20 minutes and he hasn't played a hockey game yet, don't expect he's going to give you 20 minutes, because he can't keep up. When we start up here, there's going to be some guys who have played in either Russia or Europe who have played 40 games and they're going to have a big advantage, game conditioning-wise, over a guy who's played zero. You've got to get quality over quantity and accept that, for the first month, whether it's a David Backes or whatever. If he was a 20-minute player and he can give you 15 good ones, you've got to get 15 good ones out of him."
Hitchcock also said the NBA coaches told him that players may have to relearn eating and sleeping habits that come with playing a professional season and games at night. He's planning to hold some of the Blues' practices in the evening to replicate game-night preparations.
After the short training camp, the games will begin and what can we expect from that? (Allan Muir: Sloppy, explosive season on the way.) My recollections of the shortened season in '95 are that the hockey wasn't great. It was ragged, sloppy and unpredictable. Hitchcock, who has studied video of that year, described the games as "excitingly bizarre."
Hockey Night in Canada's Kelly Hrudey played for the Kings that year. He recalls it as "the best hockey I've ever been a part of." Hrudey told Erik Duhatschek of The Globe and Mail last week, "Training camp was only three or four days long and I remember vividly being really scared during the first practice because as a goalie, I felt way behind everybody else, and knowing there wasn't much time to get ready. We tied the first game 3-3 with the Toronto Maple Leafs in L.A. and I let in one, maybe two, ordinary goals. I think it was the next day that (Coach) Barry Melrose came and talked to me about it. He said, 'Unfortunately, in a 48-game schedule, with only intraconference games, we really can't afford that.'
"It was amazing to feel that sort of pressure that quickly in a season. Every game was just so important."
It didn't always seem overly thrilling in the East. It was the outset of the Dead-Puck Era, with the Devils ushering in the successful use of the neutral zone trap, which other teams copied (and scoring fell by a half goal per game that season). Jacques Lemaire's squad had used it effectively the season before, barely missing the Stanley Cup Final when they lost a Game 7 to the Rangers in the second overtime period. They Devils would sweep the Red Wings for the Cup in '95, an unexpected result since Detroit had been the league's best team over the 48-game schedule, going 33-11-4.
Speaking last summer with Scotty Bowman, who coached the Wings, he reminded me that his team got off to a quick start, with four wins in its first five games, all played at home. "You need a good start" because of the short schedule, he said, and obviously the schedule's quirks can play a role in that. By comparison, the defending champion Rangers raised the Cup banner and lost at home on opening night, 2-1, to the Sabres, a game I attended. Dominik Hasek was spectacular and, as then-Rangers coach Colin Campbell told Duhatschek. "We were behind the eight-ball right away. It was hard to catch up that year."
Bowman added that Detroit was fortunate to not have any serious injuries that year. "How many of our guys played at least 40 games?" he asked me as I paged through The Guide & Record Book. Darren McCarty appeared in only 31 ("I think he had a hernia," Bowman said) and Mark Howe 18 ("He had a bad back.'), but almost all of them were healthy, I told him. It was another important element to their season.
"Everybody's talking about the importance of a good start, but the one thing that I take out of the 48-game schedule that year was how you needed lots of players," said Sutter. "I bet if you look back at Chicago that year we probably used 16 or 17 forwards." Helene Elliott checked: "The Blackhawks used 21 forwards that season, along with nine defensemen and three goaltenders," she wrote. They finished 24-19-5, third in the division, and lost in the conference championship round to the Wings in five games.
Obviously, conditioning will be hugely important, as will coaches doing all they can to keep players fresh, but that's only one element of this sprint. NBC and SI's Pierre McGuire worked in the Senators' front office that season and actually prepared a study on what it would take to be competitive in the shortened schedule. He divulged his findings last Monday to Mitch Melnick over Montreal's TSN Radio 690.
"What you need," McGuire said, "is 1) really good goaltending; 2) a four-line attack; 3) Make sure you understand work-to-rest ratio as a coach and you don't break the guys down. That's important for maintaining the team's collective health and avoiding injury;. 4) you can't have a prolonged losing streak of five games or more or you're in trouble. Remember you're playing conference games and division games exclusively so they're all four-point games; 5) you have to have a creative coach.
"If you have those five things, you have a real good chance to be competitive."
McGuire recalls the hockey that season "was not really great hockey" but "It was intense. And it was very fast."
There will be some things about this season that won't be like the lockout-shortened '95 season. "Here's where I think this lockout and the 48-game sprint and the last lockout and the 48-game sprint are going to be different," he said. "People were not as angry the last time. People were really angry after 2004-05. People are super-angry now.
"If you live in a city where the team goes on a prolonged losing streak and it looks after the first 15 or 17 games like they're not going to make the playoffs, those teams are Tostitos for this year and it's going to be nasty. It's not going to be fun to play for those teams, and it's not going to be fun to manage those teams and it's not going to be fun to coach those teams, because you've got no way to get back in the race.
"You watch the first 10-12 games and you're going to know pretty quickly who is going to make the playoffs, who is going to be fighting for the last playoff spots and who's going to be out."
It all begins Sunday when the locks officially come off and the doors open for the NHL's players.

No doubt IKEA will be "inspired" :)
With the exception of the "solid table," nothing here looks like it should command top design dollar. If the uninitiated saw most of these pieces in your home, they would assume you went on a shopping spree at CB2.
No doubt the Miniform pieces are more refined in execution than CB2, but when the difference isn't readily apparent to the casual observer, is it really worth a premium of 5 or 10 times the cost?

Beauchamp Tosses North Georgia Past Columbus State in Series Opener
Contact: Steve Cunha, email@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia baseball team snapped a two-game losing streak on Friday evening as they defeated No. 23 Columbus State 4-2 in Peach Belt Conference action at Bob Stein Stadium.
The Saints (17-17, 7-12 PBC) won their first conference home game in a month and a half despite leaving 13 runners on base, while the Cougars (23-14, 10-9 PBC) dropped their second straight contest.
Freshman Jacob Beauchamp picked up his fourth win of the season going 8.2 innings allowing just two runs on two hits and striking out five, while Levi Puto picked up the loss tossing 6.1 innings and allowing all four North Georgia runs.
Reese Patten picked up his second save of the season coming on with two runners on in the ninth and retiring a pinch hitter to seal the victory for the Saints.
Beauchamp continues to impress in his first season in Dahlonega as he has gone at least six innings in each of his last four starts. Since entering the starting the rotation Beauchamp has gone 2-1 with 21 strikeouts and allowing just 20 hits in 30 innings.
After not scoring a run in a 12-inning loss to Anderson on Wednesday, the Saints wasted no time getting on the board as they scored in the home half of the first. Derek Hooper got things started with a one out single up the middle and Kenny Bellavance followed with an infield single.
Matthew Black stepped to the plate and delivered a clutch single through the left side to plate Hooper. Black would not be done as he would later add a two run single in the bottom of the fourth.
Black continues to sizzle at the dish as he went 4-for-4 with three RBI's. Black has had multi-hit games in each of the last three conference games.
The Saints would add an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth when Hooper smacked an RBI single to center to plate Andrew Gordon.
Hooper, Kenny Bellavance and Travis Naraine each joined Black and had multi-hit games. The Saints finally got big contributions from the heart of their order as the 2-3-4 hitters combined to go 8-11 with three RBI's and two runs scored.
The Saints wrap up the weekend series against the Cougars with a doubleheader tomorrow, April 7. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 pm.
